1. Did I mention we’ll have Tetris and Rock Band tournaments? Seriously, Saturday night at 8p.m. in the Pair-O-Dice Poolroom, upstairs at the Skylark Lounge. (Old-school video games, too, so practice up on your Super Mario Bros!)

2. Comedians! The Comedy Works Stage at Sobo 151 will be raging on Saturday night with comics from the Comedy Works and Wrist Deep Productions.

3. Film, too. The good folks at the Denver Film Society are screening a beautiful copy of the Talking Heads’ “Stop Making Sense” at an undisclosed outdoor festival location. It’s going to be epic.

4. All the non-music stuff is going to own. Even the crafting workshop is punk rock – “Punk Rock Patch Embroidery,” brought to you by Nichole and April of Denver’s very own Sew Mates. (2 p.m. Saturday at Fancy Tiger Craft.) You’ll also wanna keep an eye out for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Photo Booth outside the Skylark Lounge, brought to you by UMS presenting sponsor Gigbot. Snap your own pic, and then grab it off the web later on
- your own piece of the UMS.

5. Denver sorely lacks a solid gospel brunch, and the good men at 3 Kings Tavern are out to remedy that – for UMS weekend only! Your UMS wristband gets you into see the Velvet Elvis Gospel Brunch on Sunday for free, with $1 pancakes cooked by a king and $5 bottomless mimosas (and cheap bloody marys) slung by their courtships!

To be honest, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The UMS is going to be bigger and more fun than it’s ever been, so thanks for coming out this weekend!

I was happy to help, but like Ric I can’t take too much credit. A lot of what we did was the tireless work of my partners: Todd Roeth (who designed everything, the tshirts, posters, web site, program gude), and Mark Hansen (who keeps the train on the track at Dayjob HQ so we even have the ability to help with this stuff).
